About 10 days ago I had Essence Caterer service at my house for a party and they were amazing, a huge success !! Everything was perfect and way better than expected ( I already knew it would be great but it was even better ! ). Food was delicious, presentation was beautiful and the service impeccable. The attention to details was unbelievable… Since out first contact until the after party they were consistently kind, accommodating and very professional ! I am very picky about services that I hire cause I already have high standards and expectations and I can say for certainty that Essence Caterer is the best caterer that I’ve ever worked with and from now on my only choice !! Thank you Paul , Sofia and the entire team !!

Our company hired Essence Catering for our Grand Opening event in Miami. We are the top distributor of Botox in the United States and pride ourselves on providing an elevated experience for all our clients. That is why it was so important we found a catering and event company that aligned with our style and level of professionalism. Essence Catering was fantastic. I coordinated with Sofia Calvo who was an absolute pleasure to work with. Everything was planned and executed perfectly. I particularly appreciated the attention to detail. All staff members knew there exact roles, they were professionally dressed, polite and the food was incredible. 10/10 I would recommend them to anyone looking to host a seamless elevated event!

From start to finish, working with Sofia and Essence Caterers was an absolute pleasure. I hosted a cocktail reception in my home and Sofia was attentive, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout the planning stages, making the entire process seamless.
On the day of our event, they exceeded every expectation. They arrived as scheduled, set up and was ready when the event started. The cocktails were not only creative and delicious but also beautifully presented, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The food was exceptional and every dish was plated with elegance and tasted even better than it looked. Guests are still raving about both the flavors and the stunning presentation.
What impressed me most was their flawless execution and ability to anticipate every need. It allowed me to fully enjoy the evening, confident that everything was in the best hands.
If you are looking for a catering partner who combines professionalism, creativity, and impeccable service, I wholeheartedly recommend Essence Caterers. They made our event unforgettable!

Another long overdue review! We worked with Essence Caterers for our wedding afterparty at home—and they absolutely crushed it. From the start, meeting Sofia during the planning phase, we knew we were in great hands. Everything went smoothly. The decor was adorable (we got compliments all night), and the food? Unreal. Every bite was a hit.
Sofia was a dream to work with—super sweet and incredibly on top of things. She even handled the cops when the party got a little too lively. 🙃 Truly unforgettable. Thank you again for making the night so special.

Essence truly exceeded all of my expectations. From start to finish, the team was exceptional, the food was absolutely outstanding, and the drinks were perfectly crafted. I couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience, and I’m so glad I chose them. Their professionalism and attention to detail ensured everything went smoothly, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing—they were always ahead of the game. Sofia, in particular, was incredibly helpful from the very beginning, and I’m so thankful our paths crossed. I’ll definitely be using Essence for all of our corporate events moving forward. They made the entire experience effortless and unforgettable.

The Essence team went above and beyond from start to finish. I would not work with anyone else who couldn't provide this standard. Every single thing was perfection: outreach, service, food, drinks, servers, set up and clean up. All our guests were so happy and could not believe how seamless it was as well as of high value. Look forward to working with and recommending them in the future.

Hands down, the best caterers in South Florida. I've worked with Essence Caterers for at least 4 different corporate events and they deliver every single time. Top quality food, presentation, service, organization...everything! They work very cleanly and are extremely accommodating to the specific needs of the event both ahead of time and during the event. You can tell that they bring a lot of care to every detail of the event. Thank you Essence for always over-delivering! I highly recommend them!

Thank you to the entire team for exceeding all of our expectations. We look forward to working with Essence Caterers again in the future.
Paul and his Essence team are incredible! Paul is an absolutely amazing human with a high bar for excellent, beautiful food. We loved getting to know him through our tastings, and his team were all awesome communicators in between our in-person meetings. Good food really matters to us and our families, and Paul and Essence were the people we felt best about trusting for our big day. Not surprisingly, our wedding food was AMAZING. We’ve had over a dozen friends and family members mention how much they loved our wedding food. What more can you ask for?! We highly recommend Paul and his Essence team! They go above and beyond!

Everyone with Essence Caterers was absolutely wonderful to work with. They were extremely personable, professional, and very much accommodating. The personal attention my husband and I received far exceeded our expectations. They were willing to work with us on every request we made no matter how small or big.
